What should I do if my kitten vomits?
If your cat vomits often, make an appointment with your vet to find the underlying cause. Your cat may be regurgitating their food, coughing, or having a reaction to something they’ve eaten.
Why is my kitten vomiting liquid?
Clear liquid vomit is a sign that the cat is bringing up fluid from the digestive tract, which is often stomach juice. Occasionally, if the kitty is vomiting right after drinking a large amount of water, she will also vomit clear liquid—namely, the water they just drank.
Why did my kitten throw up his food?
Cats sometimes eat too much, too fast. When the stomach wall expands too quickly, a signal is sent to the brain to cause regurgitation. “Cats that eat too quickly because they are gluttonous or stressed by food bowl competition can regurgitate right after eating,” says Dr. Sara Stephens, a DVM from Montana.
What virus causes vomiting in cats?
Infection. Some common infections that can cause cats to vomit include intestinal worms, a bacterial infection in the stomach, FeLV (feline leukemia virus), FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), FIP (feline infectious peritonitis), or Panleukopenia (“feline distemper”).

How do you stop kitten from biting your hands?
The first thing to do is stop touching the cat and then hold your hands well out of striking range. If he doesn’t calm down within a few seconds, stand up slowly so you can remove him from your lap. Walk away and do not return until he has calmed down. Avoid soothing your cat after biting or scratching.
